Interview 2 | You'll Be Hooked on the Brothers

Written by Hitmontop Guy

Hey Mario, where are we going today?

We? We ain’t going nowhere. I got a date tonight.

Ah, you got a date? Was that what this was all about? What a file.

Danny looks through the long sheet of paper.

Songs from live action video game adaptations, songs from Mario games from the SNES age and earlier, songs related to wrestling, songs based around anti-drug PSAs/games. Mario, what kind of a woman is this? What does any of this mean, for that matter?

No, no, no, no, that’s the wrong file. Here, this paper has the description of her. Her name is Ibuki.

Wasn’t that the name of the girl from that tournament you got emailed about, Mario?

Heck if I know.

The Mario Bros doorbell rings.

That must be her. I’m telling you Luigi, you better be nice to her.

I will, I will.

Lou opens the door, with Ibuki behind it.

Hello, I’m Mario and this my brother Luigi. May I have your hand?

Hmmm? What are you on about? I already know who you are. I’m here for the tournament that you signed up for.

Danny is laughing hysterically.

And what do you find so funny?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA, ahhhh, you thought your interview was a date! I told you, bro.

Oh? I’m just here to give you your invitation and interview you. I’m sorry.

It’s alright, paisano. Come, sit down for the interview.

Lou and Ibuki both walk down the set of stairs to where Danny is sitting and sit down with him. Danny and Lou look at each other.

Well, I think you need to start this interview, Mario.

Hmm? What are you going to do, Lou?

I sure do, Luigi. Hey paisanos! It’s the Super Mario Brothers’ Super Interview!

Lou and Danny stand up and start dancing.

We're the Mario Brothers and plumbin's our game,

We're not like the others who get all the fame!

If your sink is in trouble, you can call us on the double,

We're faster than the others, you'll be hooked on the brothers!

Uh!

Hooked on the brothers!

Yo, you in for a treat so hang onto your seat,

Get ready for adventure and remarkable feats!

You'll meet Koopas, the Troopas, the Princess and the others,

Hangin' with the brothers, you'll be hooked on the brothers!

Uh, uh!

Lou and Danny stop dancing and sit back down with Ibuki.

That was pretty fun, wouldn’t you say paisano?

I enjoyed it! Now onto the actual interview. You’ve done drug PSAs, professional wrestling and starred in your own show and now you’re going to enter SALT. How do you manage to do so much?

I love what I do, so I do it. I don’t think there’s much more to it.

The doorbell rings again.

I wasn’t expecting anyone else visiting. Give me one second, paisano.

Lou runs up to the door and opens it.

Hiya Mario! I’ve got a pizza for you.

Oh, thanks. I didn’t order any pizza though.

You’re welcome Mario, my darling.

Jodie gets uncomfortably close to Lou. She then leaves.

Yeesh, oh well. Free pizza is free pizza.

Lou brings the pizza back to the table and opens the box.

Ah peppermint pizza, my favorite. You want a slice, Ibuki?

Sure.

Ibuki takes a slice of the pizza out of the box.

You never found out if she had a sister that delivers did you, Mario?

*with his mouth full with pizza*

Ahahaha, nope.

Ibuki finishes her peppermint pizza and resumes the interview.

Man, that pizza was terrible. I don’t know whose idea it was to make peppermint pizza. Ahem, anyway I didn’t really get to ask you many questions. I suppose I have time for one more. Can you show me how to do the Mario, Lou?

Of course, of course. C'mere Luigi.
